About: The World Summit Award (WSA) have been a resounding success for
New Zealand since 2003. The awards provide the opportunity to shift
the focus from technology, networks and access issues to the actual
applications and the resultant digital content, while increasing the
visibility of the application projects to a global audience. Whilst
simultaneously encouraging an inclusive information society which
supports the UN Millennium Development Goals through the creative use
of ICT's.
The WSA results in a global showcase of 40 outstanding projects, in
eight categories, with a special emphasis on those projects which show
the benefits of information and communication technology for the
development of communities and society at large.
Refer World Summit Award site for further detail.
New Zealand has been successful from the first competition in 2003,
which resulted in two projects being included in the global top 40. In
2005 New Zealand received two Special Mentions and in 2007 we
supported two Winners and three Special Mentions. 2009 produced three
Winning New Zealand projects. For further details on past project
winners from New Zealand: http://www.wsa-awards.org.nz/showcase/showcase.html
